Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 172 The Spirit of the Universe's Dandruff
"The so-called [Life Form Transcendent], what do you mean?"

Chen Yan listened to these new words blurted out by Nuomi Guo, and there was only awe in his heart—this kind of awe for knowledge, I don't know when it came into being in his head.

Maybe it was when he relied on his scholarship to become a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine.

Perhaps it is time to rely on the knowledge of the extraordinary to spy on the hidden side of this world.

The more he knew, the stronger his sense of awe grew.

Until he could clearly feel this awe, he naturally learned to express humility and fear of unknown knowledge in admiration.

"Yan Jun, do you know what life form is?"

Glutinous rice fruit answer the question.

Chen Yan recalled the knowledge in the textbook, combined with his own understanding, and said while thinking:
"It is a concrete and intuitive manifestation of life, it is the flesh.

Most of the organisms with physical bodies in the world are all composed of organic matter, carbon-based organisms with carbon as the basis of organic matter.

In addition to carbon-based organisms, there are inorganic organisms that only exist in fantasy, such as silicon-based organisms.

It's just...now, no scientist can prove the existence of inorganic organisms.

Therefore, the so-called [life form] can actually be narrowly equated with the carbon-based life form. "

Nuomi Guo nodded slightly, and asked again: "What about organic life and inorganic life? Are there other [life forms]?"

Chen Yan looked at the kerosene lamp, his eyes gradually became stiff.

He never thought about it.

Although veterinary medicine is a major in the biological category, he has not been exposed to many specific studies on the theory of life forms.

Even if they know some knowledge about life forms, they can only learn from a few words in books that are very superficial and full of obscure content that is difficult to understand.

When he was studying animal medicine before, there was a subject called "Basic Knowledge of Medicine", which involved knowledge about some compounds, so he knew, [The world is made of matter].

In chemistry, substances are divided into [compounds] and [elements].

[Compounds] are divided into [Organic substances] and [Inorganic substances].

【Organisms】There is only one kind of life, which is carbon-based organisms.

And life composed of [inorganic matter]...for now, it doesn't exist.

Chen Yan has heard a joke. There was once a scientist who was crazy about scientific research. One day, he suddenly took all his assets and bought out the newspaper headlines of the day. The content was only one sentence:

[I have discovered inorganic life forms - some "real life" based on "silicates in a semi-molten state", and the oxidation of iron provides them with energy. 】

Sounds like something a middle-school student might imagine in a brainstorming session after half a semester of biology and chemistry.

In fact, inorganic life forms have never appeared in this world.

Therefore, when Nuomi Guo asked about "life forms other than organic life and inorganic life", Chen Yan seemed very stiff.

Inorganic life does not exist yet, life independent of organic and inorganic life... what is that?
"Difficult to understand, isn't it? Completely absurd question without any theoretical support."

Nuomi Guo said seriously: "But now, we have obtained the answer to this question from somewhere - a higher life form that transcends organic and inorganic, that is [the spirit of the universe]."

Chen Yan suddenly said: "This is the origin of the term [Life Form Transcendor]."

Glutinous Rice Fruit nodded and said, "Yes."

The wind outside the window is very small, there is no blizzard tonight, and the road is extraordinarily quiet. No one knows why the night market on Walker Street is not held on Saturday night when most people are resting, but only on weekdays when a small number of people have free time. Open five nights.

The winter nights in the Empire are still cold, and the snowstorm has not yet arrived, but the small flakes have not stopped falling.

At this time, it was the shift time for the night shift workers in the factory. Pedestrians coming and going on the street trampled and squeezed the snow, and the dense snow was blown by the cold wind, and it condensed into ice flakes.

From time to time, some pedestrians fell because of this, and the lucky ones could still get up, while the unlucky few left their lives forever in such an ordinary winter night.

Nuomi Guo looked at the leather shoe.

Under the light of kerosene lanterns, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more peaceful.

"It's hard to take, isn't it?

It is obvious that human beings are still in the simple [organic carbon-based life] stage, and have not even touched the field of [inorganic life]. How can there be a more advanced life form that surpasses the two? "

When Chen Yan listened to her, sometimes she felt that her voice was very far away—the distance was not to describe the distance, but in spirit—he felt that the spirit of Nuomi Guo was very far away from him, and even a burst of pain popped up in his head. A quirky idea:

He felt that she was not human.

After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "If we know a [definite answer], and that answer does not exist in the current knowledge system, then there are two possibilities.

First, the answer is wrong, it is a human imagination.

Second, the answer once existed in history, and most of it was lost in history, so that there are only a few words left, so it cannot be verified, only the result is known. "

Nuomi Guo nodded and said in a positive tone: "Yes, this is the answer that was almost lost in history."

She pointed to the leather shoes on Chen Yan's feet: "And this thing is the proof of that [answer]."

Chen Yan suddenly realized: "This leather shoe is a concrete product of the memory fragments of the world. It is not an organic or inorganic creature, but it obviously has a certain degree of [life]. Therefore, it can be classified as an [existence beyond the life form] thing]!"

He paused, and continued: "But this kind of thing... shouldn't be [Spirit of the Universe], right?"

Nuomi Guo said just now that the [Spirit of the Universe] is a [Life Form Transcendent] that does not exist in this world.

If something with the luxurious title of [Spirit of the Universe] is a leather shoe full of dirty thoughts...

Chen Yan could not accept it.

Nuomi Guo continued: "According to the inscription on the [Spirit of the Universe] recorded in the inscription of the Deep Sea Age, this leather shoe is at best a small fragment of the Spirit of the Universe that is not pure.

You could interpret it as dandruff, filth in the grooves of your toenails, or even something in your lower digestive tract.

Probably something like this exists. "

Chen Yan let out a long breath, feeling relaxed all over.

Nuomi Guo continued: "Of course, although it's just a filthy thing, it's still a part of the [Spirit of the Universe]—a part that was abandoned."

She pointed to the leather shoes on Chen Yan's feet: "Even if it's just a part that was discarded, it still carries a small piece of the world recorded by the spirit of the universe - that belongs to that woman named Vidya Gandhi part of the memory."
